We live in southern Arizona and are considering purchasing some acreage that contains, among other foliage, mesquite trees. We'd appreciate a response as to the problem that mesquites, specifically the pods, causes horses.

The book Cathleen mentioned is a good one but would like to warn people not to entirely count on the weeds being only in the locations the book notes. Unless it has been up-dated since I bought mine, it does not show Crotoleria nor Corydalis as being in Florida though we have loads of both. Also, the scale of some of the photos seems to vary and it takes a great deal of study to be able to identify things. It is an EXCELLENT AID, HOWEVER, and a resource I have used a great deal. You might also check with some of your major state universities. University of Florida puts out a good, though not complete booklet.
